Wisconsin - Asst. AD John Chadima resigns

A big shock in Madison, although likely not very noticeable on the field, is that John Chadima resigned as Alavarez's top assistant. An unstated allegation of "misconduct" was made, and Chadima resigned immediately.

Wow. I just read a few of the local articles on the issue and this does not look good at all. A few salient points on what is known right now:

1. Allegation of misconduct was made by someone from the school itself

2. He resigned immediately

3. His house is up for sale

4. Alverez is flying back to Madison immediately

5. The Chancelors are meeting immediately

I'm no detective but based on the above I'm guessing there was some pretty damn serious "misconduct" going on and this will get ugly. Looks like U of W is trying to cut their losses and fast to minimize whatever PR fallout is about to occur.

I'm about to head over to one of the UW campus rec facilities for an afternoon workout. It's located right next to Camp Randall, so I'll hang around afterwards to watch for any explosions from the UW AD's office (BTW, there is a menacing stomach bug circulating in the greater Madison region that may produce frequent bathroom explosions in the next 24 hours). Maybe I'll even set up shop next to the creepy Barry Alvarez statue. Buckle up.

It talks a little about the projects he was overseeing and his pre-bowl customs, which include a party for the "unsung heroes of UW football". Not a whole lot else in the Wisconsin press that hasn't been said already at this moment. I imagine this one gets interesting though.

I'm from madison and this is shocking after the leanency of shoegate and seeing Ron Dayne drive everywhere in dealer plates back when he was playing and rampant rumors that legacy Nick Toon kinda wasn't even close to qaulifying academics wise. "Misconduct" is something I thought I'd never see punished

"Misconduct" is really just a euphemism. It could be anything from illegally parking in handicap spots to serious financial or sexual "misconduct."

After the PSU scandal, EVERY AD is hypersensitive right now. If this incident was sexual misconduct, you can bet they're going to act swiftly and decisively. They will not repeat the FUBARed PSU situation.

In light of the recent bad press for the conference (PSU, osu, especially), Wisconsin is going to want to ensure they mitigate whatever bad press comes out of this for both their school and for the conference. I'm sure Delany is breathing down everyone's necks right now.
